Sennheiser HD800 below $900

Da best ya gonna do around here is a Sennheiser Massdrop HD8xx with a plain 2 meter, 6.3mm unbalanced cable in a plain cardboard box with possibly tweaked bass response for $750-$800. It’ll take ya 6 months after drop to get it, too. Dat’s all ya gonna get

I'd rather the HD 800s get a a drop for around 1,200 I've tried both and think the S is significantly better all around for me and other people. So if an 800 were to drop I pray for the S variant. Because if I'm spending 900$ I don't mind a few hundred more for a superior product.

I have the chance to grab a pair of HD800s for $1000. The only thing is that it's the last unit, so they were used as a display at the store I'm looking to get them from. Would you think it's a good deal or I better pass?

For me that would all depend if I still would get at least 1 year warranty with them being used. I would pounce on it if I was able to get a pair of the S's for cheap. Just make sure the cable isn't messed up or kinked as well.

Would really like to see the specific Sennheiser HD-800-"S" version go actively on sale here on Massdrop. "S" version is an improved type (see mfr site) and the new black color is cool too. Reports are bass is stronger and highs are tamed better. How about some more votes for the "S" version !

Sounds reasonable as I picked up a pair on sale here in Toronto at Bay Bloor Radio for $1069 Can ($875 US) last fall…. also less than 2 weeks ago Amazon Warehouse.ca also had some marked down to $833Can ($680 US), excellent price…should have grabbed them.

May we please have an update? It could be simple like: Ongoing, stalled, topic closed or dead, or spend your money on something else you want.
I've got money on hold to buy things in a relative order. Meanwhile I've passed on other things that looked ok while waiting for Massdrop, and spent at other vendors having great sales.
Checked Retailmenot.com and have found a couple of 30 percent and one at 36% off coupons from Senheiser, when they want to move something. At CanJam 2015 L.A. Newegg had a set of HD800 for 900 Euro. (Sorry don't want to mess with warranty issues)
The sub 1k price is not out of the questions, more so if a replacement model is coming out, it's no different than when buying a car.
Please Communicate!

you achieve 900.00 or less and I promise you will have their factory on overtime for months. I hear they are coming out with a new headphone to replace the hd800 so maybe they will be willing to mass drop below 900.00 Heck 900.00 is just fine by itself.

Sennheiser HD 800 “LIKE NEW” were listed a few months ago for $899 at musicdirect.com. By the paperwork, they appeared to be refurbs, but carried a full two year warranty per musicdirect. I’m wearing a set right now. The under $900 massdrop price should be doable.
